Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an adjusting device, in particular to an inner welding seam welding gun angle adjusting device. Background Art

[0002] At present, prefabricated structural parts need to be manufactured during the construction of bridges, among which U-rib plate welding is a very important part. The original welding process adopts the process of outer single-sided welding. The weld penetration and weld strength cannot meet the needs during use. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new welding machine that can adapt to inner seam welding. However, the existing inner seam welding machines are generally difficult to complete the inner seam welding of workpieces with smaller openings. That is, after the equipment itself uses the monitoring system, the automatic angle adjustment equipment is generally large in size, so it is difficult to reach into the workpiece with smaller opening to adjust the welding gun in real time for inner seam welding operation, especially when the weld length is large, manual welding is also difficult to perform.

[0003] A welding gun posture adjustment device for a U-rib internal upward welding system (publication number CN110524093A) is used to adjust the position of a welding gun for repairing the weld between the U-rib and the panel from the inside of the U-rib. The welding gun posture adjustment device is arranged on a walking mechanism that moves along the length direction of the U-rib and includes a welding gun pitch angle adjustment mechanism, a welding gun height adjustment mechanism and a welding gun lateral movement adjustment mechanism. The welding gun is installed on the welding gun pitch angle adjustment mechanism, the welding gun pitch angle adjustment mechanism is fixed on the welding gun height adjustment mechanism, and the welding gun height adjustment mechanism is fixed on the welding gun lateral movement adjustment mechanism. The welding gun posture adjustment device of the U-rib internal upward welding system of this invention adopts an independent drive to achieve the adjustment of the welding gun angle, height and lateral movement, and can be installed at the end of various automatic welding devices. Although it can achieve multi-dimensional precise adjustment of the welding gun, the welding gun posture adjustment device for achieving angle adjustment (including welding gun pitch angle adjustment mechanism, welding gun height adjustment mechanism, welding gun lateral movement adjustment mechanism, support mechanism; U-shaped groove, angle adjustment drive mechanism; welding gun seat, screw rod, screw rod seat; gear, rack) only needs to enter the internal welding space together with the welding gun. Even if a smaller welding gun pitch angle adjustment mechanism, welding gun height adjustment mechanism, welding gun lateral movement adjustment mechanism, and angle adjustment drive mechanism are used, it is impossible to achieve welding in the smallest possible space, and the cost of the above-mentioned small-volume equipment is also high, so it is not suitable for on-site processing and production and equipment replacement at any time. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an internal welding seam welding gun angle adjustment device, which has low equipment cost, is convenient for production and subsequent maintenance, and can be used for welding of smaller U-rib internal welds and internal seam welding operations of workpieces with narrow opening spaces.

A column bracket is provided on the sliding seat, and the top of the column bracket is hinged to one end of the swing arm through a fixed shaft, a welding gun seat is provided on the front side of the other end of the swing arm, and a guide column 2 is provided on the rear side thereof, and a guide groove for cooperating with the lateral sliding of the guide column 2 is provided in the lateral extension section; two groups of side tracking pressure wheels are provided, and correspondingly connected to the opposite ends of the two groups of sliding seats for pressing the two sides of the workpiece under the pressure of the compression spring; one end of the welding gun swing seat is connected to the welding gun seat and is locked and fixed by a locking handwheel, and the other end thereof is provided with a gun clamp for clamping the gas shielded welding gun.

[0007] Preferably, the driving part includes a sector gear pair arranged at the tail end of the extension rod, the other end of the sector gear pair is connected to the handwheel shaft, and the end of the handwheel shaft passing through the side frame is connected to the driving handwheel.

[0008] Preferably, the base includes a front section and a rear section of the base body, the tail end of the front section of the base body is fixedly connected with at least two groups of connecting rods, the rear section of the base body is provided with a through hole for the connecting rod to pass through, and the tail end of the rear section of the base body is abutted against a locking nut for positioning the rear section of the base body; the extension rod includes an extended front section, an extended section and an extended rear section which are plugged in and matched in sequence, the extended section is provided with at least one group, and a positioning plug-in 1 is provided at one end thereof, and a positioning slot 1 which matches with the positioning plug-in 1 is provided at the other end thereof, the tail end of the extended front section is provided with a positioning slot 2 which corresponds to the positioning plug-in 1 and is plugged in and matched with the positioning slot 1, and the front end of the extended rear section is provided with a positioning plug-in 2 which corresponds to the positioning slot 1.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting rod is connected to the rear end of the front section of the seat body via threads.

Since the welding gun seat is limited by the rocker arm, the fixed shaft and the sliding seat, the welding gun seat can be adjusted in the lateral position along the guide groove while being lifted and lowered, thereby completing the adjustment of the welding gun angle. During the adjustment process, due to the arrangement of an extension rod connecting the driving part, the volume of the parts extending into the inner part of the workpiece is reduced, and the cooperation of the worm, lead screw, lifting seat, linear slide rail, side tracking pressure wheel, and welding gun swing seat structural parts arranged at the front end of the base can further reduce the volume of parts used to achieve the angle adjustment of the gas shielded welding gun, thereby achieving not only the purpose of reducing equipment costs and facilitating production and later maintenance, but also better adaptability in the welding of smaller U-rib inner welds and inner seam welding operations of workpieces with narrow opening spaces. At the same time, due to the use of a worm gear structure, it has a certain self-locking property, and the gas shielded welding gun will not loosen due to shaking during walking.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Combination Figure 4-11The illustrated embodiment is an internal welding seam welding gun angle adjustment device. In this embodiment, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the base 1 includes a front section 206 of the base body and a rear section 207 of the base body.

[0038] The working principle of the present invention is: when welding operation is required, the angle adjustment device can be pushed into the workpiece, the compression spring 43 is compressed, and the side tracking pressure wheel 47 presses the workpiece to track the side wall of the workpiece. After adjusting the gun clamp 452 to a suitable position, it can work normally. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the gun clamp 452 to adapt to the inner weld position, that is, when it is found from the outside that the welding gun angle needs to be adjusted during the welding process, it is only necessary to rotate the hand wheel 26 externally, and the lifting seat 33 is driven to rise and fall through the transmission of the sector gear pair 21, the worm 3, and the turbine body 31, and then the lateral extension sections on both sides thereof drive the welding gun seat 441 to move through the guide column 442. Since the welding gun seat 441 is limited by the fixed shaft 46 and the sliding seat 4, the welding gun seat 441 can be adjusted in the lateral position along the guide groove while being lifted and lowered, thereby completing the adjustment of the welding gun angle. During the adjustment process, since an extension rod 2 is provided to connect the driving part, the volume of the parts extending into the inner part of the workpiece is reduced, and the worm 3, screw 311, lifting seat 33, linear slide rail 41, side tracking pressure wheel 47, and welding gun swing seat 45 structural parts arranged at the front end of the base 1 can be coordinated, so that the volume of parts used to achieve angle adjustment of the gas shielded welding gun 453 can be further reduced, thereby achieving not only the purpose of reducing equipment costs and facilitating production and later maintenance, but also better adaptability in the welding of smaller U-rib inner welds and inner seam welding operations of workpieces with narrow opening spaces. At the same time, due to the use of the worm gear 3 structure, it has a certain self-locking property, and the gas shielded welding gun 453 will not loosen due to shaking during walking.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
